Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Do Not Plant

"Do you also think I’m inferior to her? She’s living a good life now, she’s a city person, you must want to be closer to a daughter like that, right?"

Mother Lin knew who she was talking about and while cradling her grandson, she spoke indifferently.

"What’s the use of saying these things now? When I found such a good match for you, you were so against it, you insisted on marrying Li Guangyuan. Are you regretting it now? If you had listened to me back then, you would be the city person."

Lin Jiayi turned to look out of the window, "I don’t care about being a city person, even less about the Qin Family people."

Mother Lin took it as her speaking out of spite.

What about the Qin Family? Qin Yang is said to have become an official now, and Brother Qin has started doing business.

The Qin Family’s business is not like Li Guangyuan’s; their business makes big money.

As for not caring about city people, Mother Lin believed that even less.

Who in their village didn’t envy the city people for eating commodity grains?

Not to mention others, just look at the two younger sisters-in-law from the Li Family, who are almost going crazy wanting to marry into the city.

Thinking of that, Mother Lin couldn’t help but speak, "How are your sisters-in-law doing? I heard your mother-in-law found several matchmakers to set up meetings for them during the Spring Festival, and none were suitable? If you ask me, your younger sister-in-law is not getting any younger, she should find someone and get married. It’s a disaster just having her at home causing trouble all the time."

"I do want her to get married, but who listens to me at home now?" Mentioning the Li Family, Lin Jiayi had even more grievances, "Li Hongmei didn’t marry well at first, and they blamed me for it. They still hold a grudge against me to this day; I don’t know what she’s told Li Dongmei. Now, Li Dongmei doesn’t even listen to her mom, let alone us."

"She’s just going to stick around at home and remain an old maid? You should talk to Guang Yuan about this; it’s not that you guys dislike this younger sister-in-law, but a woman’s prime years are only so long. Once she turns into an old maid, it will be even harder to marry her off."

Lin Jiayi actually quite looked forward to that scene.

Her two sisters-in-law, one is more lofty-minded than the other.

Originally she thought Li Hongmei, who was more cunning, would be harder to deal with, but Li Dongmei turned out to be quite ambitious without making a sound.

"Let them be. Now saying one extra word in that family is wrong. If they want to treat their daughter like a gem, let them."

Mother Lin nodded, understanding her daughter’s difficulty, "That makes sense. Fortunately, your younger sister-in-law now runs to the city with Guang Yuan often, which is great help to him. It spares you the trouble of having to take care of the child and running around. But as for your elder sister-in-law, when I ran into your cousin over the New Year, he said she also causes a lot of trouble at her in-laws’. I think that family treats her well, and the husband looks out for her. Though they’re poor, which family isn’t poor these days? With willing hands, one can always make a living, but she insists on comparing herself with their biological son. How can she compete?"

Lin Jiayi looked at her son who had fallen asleep in Mother Lin’s arms, biting her cheek to express her frustration, "Of course, a non-biological child can’t compare with a biological one."

She said this with much emphasis, but whether Mother Lin really took it in, she didn’t know. Mother Lin spoke with concern, "With the way she’s making a fuss there, she wouldn’t really get a divorce, would she? If she gets divorced and returns to her maternal home, how would you live your life then?"

Lin Jiayi snorted coldly, "Don’t worry, Mom, she’s sharper than anyone else. She won’t get a divorce. Not to mention the Ma family won’t let her divorce; even if she really did and came back to the village, she would be drowned in spit."

Lin Jiadong finished his homework and only after hearing that there was no noise outside did he quietly open the door.

Seeing his mother cooking in the outer room, he quietly called, "Mom, has my eldest sister left?"

Mother Lin didn’t lift her head as she fed the firewood into the stove, "Gone, she left a while ago. And you, why do you have to twist the knife in your sister’s heart when she’s having such a hard time?"

Lin Jiadong stood up straight and strutted out of the room.

"Her hard times are of her own making, what’s that got to do with us? And what’s it got to do with my second sister? Every time she comes back, it’s as if we owe her something. At the mere mention of my second sister, she flies off the handle. Wasn’t it her choice to marry my brother-in-law?"
